【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了每年有几千人在英国道路上死亡。一至二十万人每年受伤（伤害），或死于交通事故，事故的原因是由于人们的不小心造成的，每个人都必须遵守交通规则才不会出意外。

1.回答问题。根据问题每年在英国有多少人受伤？从原文中Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured（伤害）可知。故答案是Between one and two hundred thousand people are injured

2.英汉互译题。If引导的条件状语从句，主句用将来时从句用一般现在时，obeys the rules遵守规则，much safer更安全。故答案为If everybody obeys the rules , the roads will be much safer

3.In Great Britain在英国；keeps on to the left靠左边行驶；。故答案是在英国，交通车辆靠左行驶

4.4】词义猜词题。根据文章If you see small children , or very old people , or blind people , waiting to cross the road , it is kind act to help (64) them to cross the road in safety可知them指代的是孩子，老人和残疾人们。故答案为small children , or very old people , or blind people

5.5】句型转换题。本句中含有情态动词改为被动语态可以用must be done的结构。这是主语We变成了Young children；谓语动词由must teach变成了must be taught t； 故答案是Young children must be taught to cross the road safely.
